But, his lawyer, Mr Kpebu on Adom News said his client has denied an involvement in the coup plot.
He also accused the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) of infringing on the fundamental human right of his client after denying his family access to see him.
“I’m shocked at the conduct of the BNI; they are behaving as if we are in 1979. Ah I’m really surprised,” Lawyer Kpebu bemoaned.
